It's fine. I do too. A guy tried to sell me $200 p/m speaker wire with with my $450 ex-demo speakers and I obviously laughed in his face and am happily using $7.5 p/m pre-terminated wire.
See above comment Re separation. Listening to modern stereo recordings and there's definitely reverb across both channels. No DSP. Just Spotify to DAC to earphones.
Anyway - snake oil aside, I'm definitely enjoying the earphones more with the cheap balanced cable and that's all that matters I guess :-)
